FEMALE MADE MOTTO
RIOUS.
DID SHE KILL HIM?

1t is reported that one woman
who lives on + ST., s. W., who has
for many years kept the company
of a number Of unmarried girls on
r ST., and who are all mothers of
one Or more children, visits halls OF
disrepute and other places in the
city. She was charged also
as keeping the company of married
women and needs no doctors to
carry out any rascally scheme that
she wants to accomplish. She kept
the company Of a man who two
years ago caused the death of a
woman on the same street.
She was charged as being a wo-
man of bad character. She is asso-
ciating with men other than her
husband which has caused many
woman to disgrace herself and
many man to leave his wife, and
when she was spoken to about her
immoral ways she declare that
she wants a divorce from her hus-
band. She makes charges against
respectable men and women for
the purpose of renewing herself.
The people in that section of the
city have become disgusted and
will no doubt apply to the police
to arrest the woman as a public
prostitute.

NOT A DISSATISFIED CON-
GREGATION.
AS PUBLISHED ON THE 26TH OF FEB
RUAhY.

1t is not for any. body to know
what course the Conference will
take in regard to the appointment
to Mount Zion church. We are
not 80 we'll informed as others,
but reasons and evils complained
of are not correct. Rev. Collins
is a christian gentleman and his
conference collections have surpass
ed those of last year, if we are
correctly informed. The retro
grading 10 the congregation as
spoken of is not a fault of the
pastor, but it is the manner in
which it is handled beyond the
control of the pastor. Where are
all our working associations, and
who were their opposers? Who
has opposed the proper mode of
organization? Whoever they are,
that is the source that has worked
injurious to our congregation.
The arbitrary power that has DER
shadowe1 US has chilled the warm
interest of many. The prominence
of family rule and legislation in
the interest of few, is no aid to
christian advancement. Those
who could hot accept the situation
was made to feel the force of their
official Importance.
We can say that our congrega
ton is not a mass of confusion,
but we are the equals of any in
the District, as regards our reli-
gious habits and our united minds
in reference to the officials. We
have nothing to do with the r
wants and dissatisfaction. This
seven headed monster namely
Big Me and a desire to hold the
highest seat in the synagogue will
crush out the interest of any con-
gregation that can be brought
together. The Official Board
belongs to the people and not the
people to the Board. One man
for one office not three Offices fol
one man, is the necessary refor.
nation in the interest of peace

Church.

The Junior Excelsior opened
their grand oriole last Tuesday
evening at Bethel Hall M St., be-
tween 10th and 18th SITS. Mr.. w.
A. Stewart, a very enterprising
young man, is the president of the
organization and the purpose of
giving this" oriole is to secure
funds to erect a hall in this city.
1t is an enterprise that should be
encouraged. The members are
young men we'll known in this city
who represent intelligence and So
cial popularity. Bethel hall at the
opening of the OriOle was crowded,
and has bten, notwithstandings
the enclement weather the whole
week. The hall is beautifully deco
rated with flowers, chinese Ian
terms. Mr.. Stewart had great
deal of his decorations imported
and the whole place presents a
beautiful appearance.
A Bee scribe has been on the
scene the whole week and notwith-
standing it's stinger the young
ladies claimed that it only had
honey for the ladies of the Excelsior
Oriole, which of course was true.
The Bee scribe mutually became
infatuated with the ladies pretty
faces and their stylish and lovely
peasant costumes and the great
number that gathered around caus-
ed him to become embarrassed. He
was greatly relieved however when
he met president Stewart who re-
quested the ladies to go and at
tend to their business. After hav.
ing secluded itself in a corner it
observed that the table holders
were Washington's fairest and
most accomplished young ladies.
The most attractive table is the

She is assisted by Misses Carrie

at this table are very becoming.

called at the ice cream table
and president Stewart introduced
Misses Eliza johnson, Fannie

the sympathy of the American la

the truest sayings Of homely mother wit.
IL is eminently true that competition In
transportation is the life Of the business
world. Wheeling can 20 more prosper with
out il than she can sustain life without
air. When one of her two great trunk
lines is absorbed by the other, the very
vital force Of her business is destroyed,
and unless the evil is remedied, sooner or
later her business enterprises will decay
and her industries cease.
This is a crisis in the history ofthe place.
There is no such thing as standing still.
We must either 90 forward or backwards.
The choice is in the hands OF the people.
They must decide whether the full promise
of wheeling's future shall be realized Or
not. The bridge enterprise offers pros
perity, continued growth and development
beyond any that we have hitherto expert
enced.
In such a cause the old time energy Of
our citizens should be awakened. Let
business men put their shoulders to the
wheel, exhibit some Of their characteristic
pluck and perseverance and success will
crown their efforts. The Union bridge
will be made a grand boom to the city.
With it will come new wealth, energy
and growth.
